New Everton Stadium

[Toffeemeister]

Up it to 61k and sounds absolutely perfect !

Surely, because of FFP, Usmanov cannot add much more to the project than Moshiri? Once the stadium is built, and Mosh is master of these SPVs, we can only invest relative to what we earn? How would having his gazillions help? (as stupid as that sounds!)

his companies sponsor our shirt sleeves for 50m a year, the tea ladies urn is sponsored by his tea making subsidury in india etc etc etc.

We would easily get 60,000 every game. Even if it meant selling a few thousand tickets cheap to make sure. I don't know where you live but Merseyside with a population of 1.5 million has huge potential support for EFC. Never heard of any kids around here supporting Chelsea or Man City.

Nowhere near Merseyside ha. I know we have a massive following and a massive potential, I don't think we'd be selling out 60k every week straight away though

Well, I'm sorry. You are very wrong. We would, from the off. Certain of it.

We would. Easily.

Reckon we would.

Not at £60 a ticket, but sensible pricing, larger away allocation, plus the sleeping hoards around the City and the NW would get 60000 no sweat.

No probs filling 60k, the pull of the stadium in the first year will be immense. After that 1-3 year period then it might start to come back down to how we are playing and if the buzz of the new place is as good as we hope.

 

[toffeejack]

Just to clarify, I was first under the impression we would fill 60k and that's the kind of capacity I'd like us to aim for, hence being happy with 58k, I see that figure as very positive if true, especially considering the rumours of 50k.

Dear god i hope not, i would be hella disappointed but i would fear for the saftey of @gorgeousgeorgeEFC, we would need round the clock GOT suicide watch.

Anything above 55k would be ok, but 58k plus would be where it's at and the magic number would be 61878.

Lmao!!

I would be apoplectic with rage!

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Believe me when l say this but there is so much love for Everton outside of Liverpool that a new 60k+ stadium would easily be filled. Most people want an alternative to the likes of the RS and Manure but can't go to GP because of parking restrictions around the ground and availability of tickets. A new stadium with better access/parking and increased capacity will have them flocking there. It's a given!

Excellent point.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

I do think we'll go down the cheap route and go with 50k sadly.

Ye of little faith!

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

It's pricey to extend capacity in the future (Liverpool's stand expansion being exhibit A). The whole point of the stadium is to drive revenue, I'd be baffled by a low capacity, it makes no commercial sense. Honestly as long as that slug Elstone has no way innit we should be fine.

Yes, I cant see it being smaller than West Ham's ground i.e. 58,000.
